    Biden family insider Tony Bobulinski has provided a trove of documents to U.S. Senate investigators from the Senate Homeland Security and Senate Finance Committees, Breitbart News has learned. Bobulinski, the recipient of one of the emails retrieved from Hunter Biden’s laptop, went public on Wednesday night with a statement saying he confirms its authenticity and detailed how former Vice President Joe Biden — the Democrat nominee for president in this year’s election, which is just over 10 days away — was personally involved in many dealings with his son’s business associates. Documents that Bobulinski provided to Senators have begun appearing...

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says those who allowed Russia to illegally annex Crimea in early 2014 must be held responsible. In an annual address to parliament on October 20, Zelenskiy did not name anyone in particular, but appeared to be taking clear aim at officials who assumed power after mass anti-government protests toppled Russia-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych in late February 2014. "Those who gave up on Crimea without a fight must be held responsible," Zelenskiy said, adding that his government is doing "everything possible" to return Crimea to Ukraine's control. "We are building a Ukrainian Army that will be capable...

    Throughout his presidency, President Trump has promoted economic freedom for the American people by eliminating excessive burdens imposed by the regulatory state. This week marks one year since the creation of the Governors’ Initiative on Regulatory Innovation which aims to better align local, state, and federal regulations by cutting costs and advancing occupational licensing reform.Last year alone, the Administration far surpassed its promise of removing two existing regulations for each new regulation as it issued 150 deregulatory actions and just 35 new significant regulatory actions, unleashing massive benefits for the American people. As shown in Figure 1, new regulations...
  • 1968's presidential election looks a lot like today's – but it was very different

    (THE CONVERSATION) In this year’s presidential election, terms such as “law and order” and “the silent majority” have been heard fairly often from Donald Trump and some of his supporters. Those phrases hark back to an earlier presidential election, which took place in 1968. That one was a three-way affair involving former Vice President Richard Nixon, a Republican; incumbent Vice President Hubert Humphrey, a Democrat; and the third-party candidacy of a Southern segregationist, Alabama Gov. George Wallace.

    An airline passenger slapped a Delta Air Lines flight attendant during boarding in a disturbing incident that was captured on video. The confrontation began with a pair of passengers refusing to buckle their seat belts and put on their face masks on a flight that was set to take off from Miami for Atlanta. Witnesses said the flight attendant had already told the passenger to deplane for refusing to follow crew instructions, when the female passenger suddenly slapped the flight attendant across the face. The video shows the woman telling the Delta Air Lines flight attendant “B ****, I’m going...

    A pain clinic owner was sentenced today to over 33 years in prison for her role in operating several pill mills in Knoxville, Tennessee, and Hollywood, Florida.   Sylvia Hofstetter, 56, of Miami, Florida, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Thomas A.

    Here’s a look at what will likely happen in the coming week: McConnell has said he would put the nomination on the floor of the Senate on Friday. McConnell cannot put the nomination forth on the same day it comes out of committee via Senate rules. When he does put it to the Senate as a whole, he must move the Senate into executive session, meaning that the senators take up that issue alone. After the nomination is read, McConnell could file cloture – or a measure to end any debate on the nomination – then a day must go...

    In the week after the New York Post published its damaging report on Hunter Biden, the New York Times has run a grand total of five news stories on the topic. The first report started this way: “The Biden campaign on Wednesday rejected a New York Post report about Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter that the nation’s leading social media companies deemed so dubious that they limited access to the article on their platforms.” Two of the other stories focused on the social media angle. Another hinted that the scandal was part of a Russian disinformation campaign....

    A Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet crashed in California on Tuesday morning during a routine training flight. The pilot ejected safely and is being examined at a local medical facility, said Lt. Cmdr. Lydia Bock, a spokeswoman for Strike Fighter Wing Pacific. The crash occurred at about 10:10 a.m. local time near Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, about 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles. The Super Hornet, assigned to Naval Air Station Lemoore, was on a routine training flight when it experienced a mishap, Bock said. No additional details were provided about the cause of the crash.

    THE US has nearly doubled its number of spy plane assignments to China since 2009, a Chinese research organisation has revealed. The Chinese think tank said the US has also incremented its naval ship presence in China by more than 60 percent since 2009, according to Newsweek. The US Air Force, Navy and Army currently execute three to five reconnaissance flights a day. The South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative (SCSPI) has found that the total of reconnaissance flights has reached more than 1,500 a year. The think tank was founded in April 2019 and analyses air and maritime...

    Tax Policy Center ^ | 12/9/2019 | Howard Gleckman
    When I heard that Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden was proposing to raise taxes by $3.2 trillion over 10 years, I flashed back to Walter Mondale and thought: My, how things have changed. Mondale, like Biden, was a former vice-president and political moderate who was looking to gain the Oval Office. Mondale, in what was sadly—for him—the most memorable phrase of his 1984 campaign against Ronald Reagan—explicitly promised to raise taxes. In what has since been known as the Mondale moment, he said this: “Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won't tell you. I just did."...

    The brake line of a New York City police vehicle involved in an accident earlier this month was cut, authorities said. Police learned about the suspected sabotage nearly two weeks after the Oct. 7 accident in which two officers assigned to the NYPD's Transit District 20 rear-ended a car at a red light in Queens, an NYPD spokeswoman told Fox News.  The officers were driving near Queens Boulevard and Union Turnpike when the vehicle's brakes failed, and it hit another vehicle at slow speed.  There were minor injuries and the police car was taken to be repaired.  A mechanic noticed that the brake line had been intentionally...
  • Double Standards On Biden Corruption Versus Spygate Prove Big Media Is Public Enemy No. 1

    The Federalist ^ | October 22, 2020 | Margot Cleveland
    Corporate media obscured the biggest political scandal in U.S. history, involving the Obama-Biden administration spying on a political enemy. They’re doing the same to Biden corruption. Big media’s divergent handling of the Steele dossier and the Hunter Biden email stories proves that the corrupt press is not just the enemy of the people, but the enemy of truth, freedom, and our constitutional republic. For nearly four years, big media peddled Russia collusion as reality-based and the Christopher Steele “dossier” it rested upon as “mostly verified” or “fake but accurate.” Relying on unnamed sources, inuendo, and illegal leaks, the press played...

    A granddaughter of the Rev. Billy Graham, Jerushah Duford is a committed evangelical Christian who describes herself as “pro-life.” For most of her life, she voted Republican. Yet this year, she is voting for Joe Biden and is encouraging fellow Christians to distance themselves from a president who she says is trying “to hijack our faith for votes.”
